I have a Janome MC9700 and have FMQ'd 2 wall hangings and 2 lap quilts. I don't lower the feed dogs because I can't seem to move the quilt sandwich as much as I want. It seems to do great (for what I know about FMQ). I am going to post my pictures in the picture section hopefully today. I have never FMQ before. Mind you it is not a great job and I mostly meander or just use a vine, etc. But that is ok since I am just getting started!! Hope to do other patterns as I learn!! As my sweet 95 year old neighbor says, "You will never notice it on a galloping horse"! The one suggestion I have, as a beginner, is to be sure your have basted your quilt good and work from the middle out....I do have a few boo-boos but then I think about my saying!
